Did you know that Redwood trees are Socialists?

[msc545]

Have you ever seen a redwood tree? They're majestic and towering - scraping the sky while standing shoulder to shoulder with fellow redwoods in what feels like impossibly close quarters.

They can become so tall that their circulatory system can't pump water to the whole tree, so their upper needles have adapted to drink fog right out of the sky.

You'd think that anything that can grow that tall would have roots penetrating deep into the earth, wouldn't you? Something so tall, so heavy, so vulnerable to the wind and the weather must counterbalance its height with roots as long as it is tall, right?

Nope.

do you say this because... every other tree, plant, bush will get robbed of water, light, and space to grow? and even if they were first, they would take over

if you don't go red and join them to be their exact same then you're pretty much dead or kicked out? if you're not them then you will die... if you do not accommodate to them you won't survive either

what is this analogy for? lol...

Pretty cool. I remember seeing red woods when I was a kid near Santa Cruz.

As for being socialist? Did they get their mailin ballots on time?
